Help me remember a YA book I once read?

I'm trying to remember a book that I read when I was younger.

It was a YA book (I think), and it was written from the point of view of this kid who we didn't learn much about. It was written in the form of journal entries and I remember him talking about his school assignments and how he read Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening (the "miles to go before I sleep" poem) and there was something having to do with his dad running over a dog with a car or something...and there were drawings in the book as well. I think he also wrote to or about his female teacher whom he was fond of.

My memory of it is quite fractured but any insight into the book would be appreciated--though I realize this isn't a lot to go off.
